Hi all, I'm trying to make a space invaders type clone but can't get my invaders to move left and right.
This is my code for my invader sprite.

you'll need to use AI to get them to move.

You will need to store each alien's X position as a variable. For example:



That would move your aliens horizontally all the way off the screen. You would have to create your own IF/THEN statement to reverse the alien direction once they reach the edge of the screen.
